Lombard Scotch Whisky was established in the 1960s when the company began to lay down fillings at the distilleries and hold, mature and bottle from its own stocks. Through a connection with the family brewery business, Lombard entered the market as suppliers of bulk whisky when brewers bottled Whisky in addition to bottling Beer. Administration was established on the Isle of Man (an old Scottish isle between Ireland and Scotland) and a stock base developed.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky was not the category it is today. Single malts were bought and sold based on what was most acceptable to the distiller (each having their own recipe for the continuity of taste). Lombard was supplying major organisations with whisky, which they would bottle as their own.
